  • Abstract

    The increasing complexity and scale of cloud infrastructures have made such infrastructures prime targets for advanced, multiple Vector cyber-attacks. Traditional security approaches are limited in their ability to dynamically adapt, validate topological integrity, or model threats contextually in distributed cloud environments. These limitations are further worsened by static threat signatures, absence of decentralized validation, and poor scalability of centralized intrusion systems. To address these issues, this work presents a novel and comprehensive analytical framework for securing complex cloud networks by the development of five integrated algorithmic models. First, the Adaptive Threat Signature Embedding using Multivariate Contextual Encoders (ATSE-MCE) allows for dynamic threat modeling embedding multidimensional threat indicators in a high-dimensional latent space that improves accuracy with respect to detection and reduces false-positives quite substantially. Secondly, Zero-Knowledge Topology Validation via Decentralized Consistency Auditing (ZKTV-DCA) introduces a non-disclosive, blockchain Inspired validation mechanism to ensure configuration integrity across dynamic cloud topologies. Third, Entropy-Aware Federated Intrusion Discriminator with Self-Calibrated Training (EAFID-SCT) uses federated learning and entropy gradients to propagate scalable, privacy-preserving intrusion detection across edge nodes. Fourth, Differential Graph Neural Reconstructor for Multiple Vector Attacks (DGNR-MVA) reconstructs complex attack paths using temporal graph differentials, offering deeper visibility into correlated lateral movements. Finally, Quantum Inspired Probabilistic Hashing for Secure Resource Access Modeling (QPH-SRAM) provides uncertainty-aware, low-collision hashing for secure resource access control without requiring quantum hardware sets. Above 95% of accuracy improvement in threat detection would be a hallmark feature of the framework, while less latency than 1 s for validation and scaling under heterogeneous cloud environments. This work presents a cohesive multi-layered approach toward the optimization of detection precision, topological trust, resource access integrity, and scalability, setting the record for cloud-managed security analytics.
